The latest Paul-Heather update from Abbeyrd's Beatles Page 1:50 p.m. ET Wednesday

Here's the latest: The Daily Mail reported Paul and Heather, who both
emerged from court smiling Tuesday (as opposed to Monday when they weren't)
are "edging" toward a record settlement that could be finalized this week.
The settlement is said to be based on Heather's contention that the public
animosity against her has made it impossible for her to get a job. She will
be caring for daughter Beatrice, but Paul will have equal visitation rights.
The Mail says he has also agreed to pay for round-the clock security for the
pair and Heather's legal bills. More importantly, his property will not be
touched.

Also, the Sky News blog that promised minute-by-minute coverage of the
divorce has faltered badly. It's been unavailable or with old links. What's

Beatle news late updates for Tuesday 2/12/08

1) Several people have asked us about "It's Love," the track the New York
Daily News is giving away. Sources tell us it's a track that was recorded
during the sessions for "Liverpool 8" and isn't scheduled for any other
release at this time.

2) Julian Lennon has expressed his support for Lennon Murphy, the musician
we told you about two days ago (before it hit the news media) being sued by
Yoko Ono for using the trademark "Lennon."

3) Mike Love of the Beach Boys has issued a statement about the Maharishi's
death. It says, in part, "
"To say that what I have learned from Maharishi has been of great benefit
to me is an understatement to be sure. Maharishi has designed a pathway of
development of human potential, which includes transcendental mediation, the
TM-Sidhi program, Maharishi Ayurveda, Jyotish, and Yagyas -- all derived
directly from the Earth's most ancient text, The Vedas.

No less a goal than that of world peace was Maharishi's life's work. For
those of us who were fortunate enough to have been in his presence, his
passing is profoundly sad. But I for one, am among the millions who are
grateful for what he shared with us on this, "The Dawn of the Age of
Enlightenment" on the way to the goal which Maharishi called "Heaven on
Earth." We will miss you, but your great light will shine on."

Tabloid says Paul slapped fotog

People.co.uk has a story and picture showing what appears to be Paul striking a paparazzi. The article quotes Paul as saying the photog provoked it, while the photog says he said nothing.

Paul and Heather's final showdown

Paul and Heather arrived at High Court this morning for the final rounds in their well-publicized divorce case. The Daily Mail reported Heather arrived first with a film crew and an entourage of eight. The UK Mirror reported she phoned Paul several times over the weekend over recent stories that she had been sleeping with other men while dating Paul, but Paul refused to discuss the case and said, "I'll see you in court."
